The Thai Combination

Renowned for its beautiful beaches, tropical islands and lush rainforests Thailand is a long established destination for the backpacker and increasingly for those seeking its unique blend of modernity and retained cultural heritage.

This inimitable ability to combine elements is also evident in Thailand's economy which, despite the huge important of tourism, has the majority of the workforce employed in agriculture and the smallest in Industry.

Allport have been actively supporting customers in Thailand for over twenty years - long before the economy reached its current heady heights - but trading as Allport Thailand for just one year.

Reflecting on the young venture's first anniversary, Allport directors Jerry Gray and Chris Cargill commented. "When we decided to launch Allport in Thailand, with Apichai Jiratanakul as MD, it was done against the backdrop of political and economic uncertainty. But we had known and worked with Apichai for over 20 years and held every confidence that he would overcome.

Apichai's task was definitely boosted when we were able to integrate the new endeavour with our ocean partners, bringing them and their MD, Sammy Suravanichsiri, in as shareholders, creating a substantial multi modal operation to handle all aspects of international freight movements.

One year of trading results are clearly demonstrating what a good decision it was to follow Thailand's tradition of combinations!"
